CERTIFICATES OF ORIGIN OF GOODS BY THE EUROPEAN UNION

A Certificate of Origin of Goods is a document which certifies the origin of the goods to be exported. Determining the origin of the exported goods is one of the key bases for the implementation of any tariff and other important criteria.  The sole purpose of the Certificate of Origin of Goods is to show the origin of the goods in order to meet the customs or trade requirements such as letters of credit, etc.

The term “Certificate of Origin” means a specific form identifying the goods, which is used by the duly authorized organization (BCCI) to expressly certify that, the goods for which the certificate is related, originate in a particular country/group of countries.
The Certificate of Origin of goods certified by the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) includes: 1 original, 3 copies of the certificate of origin and the request form for its issuance. The forms comply with the international standards of format and specification of the document, such as size, paper weight, raster background, colour design.

The Certificate of Origin is validated by BCCI in 1 original and 3 copies, at the request of the exporting company. It has to be filled-in legibly in English, French, German or Russian, depending on the requirements of the client.

Each issued certificate includes a printed reference number and a unique, official serial number, affixed with the certification of the document.

For each separate shipment only one certificate of origin is issued. If a product is exported for example by 3 trucks, the goods in each truck should be accompanied by a separate Certificate of Origin.

All printing errors and changes in the certificates should be corrected by crossing out the incorrect data and entering the emendations, after which the issuing body verifies by signing and stamping that the “change has been approved“. Corrections made by deleting or using correction fluids are not allowed.

The Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry validates Certificates of Origin of Goods issued by all kinds of Bulgarian tradesmen, whether they are members of the Chamber, or not.

The documents are received and processed by the BCCI experts working in Sofia and by the BCCI experts stationed in the Regional Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
